Current Projects chat and miscellany

No? I got a taste for stripping and rebuilding (inc. painting) bikes after restoring my friends old BMX and my girlfriends Raleigh Caprice.

Sonicboom I'm in Southsea. Whereabouts you from?

gimme a pm

Diggin the frame Slack, not sure about the colour though. Still an ace looking bit of kit. What size is it, about a 53?

The Start:

The Start:

Wow ! that's pretty freaking nice ! Steel ? Alloy ?

what gear ratio you thinking of running?

Alloy. First new forks:

50/14, what else?!

why don't you get track forks for it, fiddy?

I thought they were! Fail.

.

Looking at the Easton spec. they don't have a specific track product.They have just 'road' and 'cross'. It is also quite hard to find forks with a 1" steerer in carbon, as all newish frames seem to be designed for 1 1/8", So I'll stick with this.

Fiddy - get the EC90's. Straight(non aero), carbon steerer and 1"

I had them on my Dolan

Thanks, Graham.

well they look alright!

it's true, 1" threadless track forks are a bitch to find..

The ITM visias I have on the Chas are nice on the road, but too wangy on the track when sprinting

no, it's a 56 just the picture got squashed when it was sent to me.
i'll take some better pics when it arrives.

I'm hoping but it is only supposition, that the extra 'flesh' on the aero will add stiffness, they are heavier too, but will have to buy and try on the track to test.

I just decided my Storck is gonna be a singlespeed...so i just got almost all the final parts it needed.
So far the build is as follows...

Storck scenario C 0.9 frame
Storck stiletto light forks
Stealth EVO pro one piece carbon bar/stem
Cane creek headset
USE alien carbon seatpost
KCNC seatclamp
HED3 carbon/ti saddle
Sram force carbon chainset(soon to be single 50t ring)
KCNC brakes
Campy record carbon brake levers
Campy specific single speed spacer kit
Spinergy stealth pbo wheels(white spokes)

Pretty much just leaves chain,pedals,and rear tensioner to get...not long now...:)
